Water to Wine Illusion Box: the Miracle of Air Pressure

Earlier this month we featured a concept for a device that turns water and other ingredients into wine. Jason Poel Smith’s hack on the other hand is more for laughs, and is easy to make on your own. Behold, brothers and sisters, a box that turns water into wine!

As you may have guessed, the wine that comes out of Jason’s contraption isn’t made from the water that’s poured in it. Inside the box are two soda bottles connected by small tubes. The first bottle is empty while the second one is filled with wine. When water is poured from the funnel, it pushes some of the air out of the first bottle. The air goes to the second bottle, where it pushes wine out of the box to make space for itself.
